PD-010-26 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report PDS-003-26 Report Overview Ontario Heritage Act    Ontario Heritage Act resources are appropriately conserved and continue to be an integral part of Clarington’s Ontario Heritage Act 1. Background Introduction 1.1 Cultural heritage is important to reflect the history, traditions, and values of a community. It also contributes to a sense of place that fosters a community's identity and cohesion. 1.2 Clarington’s two Official Plans, Envision Durham, the Region of Durham Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan contain policies that promote the protection and conservation of significant cultural heritage resources. These policies align with the goals of enhancing community health and safety and improving the quality of life for residents. 1.3 Council holds the responsibility to designate a property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) when it concludes that the property meets the criteria outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06 (O.Reg 9/06), indicating cultural heritage value or interest. A property is required to meet two or more criteria outlined in O.Reg.9/06 to be designated. Bill 23 and the Municipal Register 1.4 The OHA was amended by the More Homes Built Faster Act (Bill 23), which came into effect on November 28, 2022. Bill 23 amended the OHA in that a non-designated property on the Municipal Register be removed from the Register after two years if no Notice of Intention to Designate has been issued. Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report PDS-003-26 1.5 Clarington has 50 listed properties on the Municipal Register that must be evaluated and a Notice of Intention to Designate the property (if warranted) given prior to January 1, 2027 or they will be automatically removed from the list. 1.6 Evaluation of the listed properties is underway in accordance with the criteria under the OHA. PDS-035-25 recommended designation of five properties under Part IV of the OHA, with designation by-laws being passed by Council in November 2025. PDS-067-25 recommended designation of one property under Part IV of the OHA, with designation by-laws being passed by Council in December 2025. 1.7 The Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC) is actively reviewing the remaining listed properties and will provide recommendations to Council to ensure all properties are assessed before the legislated deadline. Council provided budget for the completion of the evaluations in 2023. Properties Proposed to be Designated 1.8 The Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC) conducted a preliminary evaluation of the following properties which are listed on the Municipal Register. See Figures 1-18 below.

(ARA) conducted their own evaluation and completed a Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report for the subject properties. Each report concluded that the subject property contained significant heritage attributes, indicating it meets the designation criteria outlined in O.Reg 9/06 and recommended the properties be designated. The CHC and ARA collectively recommend designation of the subject properties. 1.10 The Statement of Significance and List of Character-Defining Features for the subject properties can be found in Attachments 1-17 of this report. Included in the Statement of Significance where available, was information about the first owner of the property including how/where they Served as well as other interesting facts about the individual. 2. Protecting Cultural Heritage Resources 2.1 The conservation of significant natural, cultural, and archaeological resources is a matter of provincial interest identified in the Provincial Planning Statement (PPS) 2024, which is reinforced by the OHA. 2.2 The PPS includes policies that promote the protection of heritage properties. According to Section 4.6, protected heritage properties can contain both built heritage re sources or cultural heritage landscapes and shall be conserved. Planning authorities are encouraged to develop and implement proactive strategies for conserving significant built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes. Designation provides a mechanism to achieve the necessary protection. 3. Legislation Ontario Heritage Act 3.1 The OHA empowers a municipality to pass a by-law to designate properties that it considered to be of cultural heritage significance, in consultation with its Heritage Committee. The CHC supports the designation of the subject properties. 3.2 The OHA outlines the process to designate a property. Now that the CHC has recommended the designation to Council, the next step in the designation process (should Council support the designation) is publishing the Notice of Intention to Designate in the locally circulated newspaper and the municipal website. A summary description of the heritage designation process is found in Attachment 18 of this report. 3.3 Once a property is designated by by-law under Part IV of the OHA, the property owner is required to obtain consent for any proposed significant alterations to the building’s heritage features that are listed in the designation by-law, or for demolition of all or part of the structure, or its significant attributes. Municipality of Clarington Page 9 Report PDS-003-26 Envision Durham: Durham Region Official Plan 3.4 Envision Durham, the Durham Region Official Plan, outlines objectives for complete communities, which includes promoting the conservation, protection and enhancement of built and cultural heritage resources and landscapes. This section encourages municipalities to utilize the OHA to conserve, protect and enhance the built and cultural heritage resources of the municipality. 3.5 Envision Durham prioritizes the recognition, conservation, and enhancement of cultural heritage such as downtowns, historical areas, scenic lookout areas, archaeological sites or natural elements that are valued together for their interrelationship, meaning or association with the community. Clarington Official Plan 3.6 Promoting cultural heritage conservation is identified as a goal to foster civic pride and a sense of place, strengthen the local economy and enhance the quality of life for Clarington residents. Section 8 of the Clarington Official Plan, 2018 directs the designation of cultural heritage resources under Part IV of the OHA, with assistance from the CHC, in support of achieving the Municipality’s cultural heritage objectives. 4. Communications 4.1 Prior to completing the Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report for the listed properties, a letter was sent to the property owners of the subject properties inviting them to a heritage information session. They were also notified that the municipality was starting the heritage evaluation process for their property. 4.2 Staff communicated with the subject property owners sharing that Cultural Heritage Evaluation Reports had been completed on their properties and providing a copy of the reports. Property owners were invited to contact Planning and Infrastructure Services staff to discuss the consultant’s evaluation. They were also invited to attend the Clarington Heritage Committee meeting when the report was being discussed. 4.3 Following the CHC meeting, property owners were notified of the Committee’s recommendations. Property owners were also notified that a staff report would be presented to the Planning & Development Committee January 19, 2026, recommending the designation of the subject properties under Part IV of the OHA. Property owners have not expressed objection to designation. Municipality of Clarington Page 10 Report PDS-003-26 5.

The property contains a one-storey building constructed between 1946 and 1947 as part of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing Initiative. Physical/Design Value 1 Veterans Avenue has design value as a representative example of purpose-built post- WWII Victory Housing. Typical of this type of building is its one-storey construction, rectangular plan, asymmetrical m assing, and side gable roof with modest overhanging eaves. The subject building follows a simple and compact form with frame construction and clad with horizontal siding. 1 Veterans Avenue showcases unadorned rectangular window openings of various sizes and a simple, single, rectangular entrance door opening. The subject building does not feature any ornamentation or decorative features, which is typical of the Victory House style. There is a front gable peak which also appears to be a common design element found in the Victory Housing neighbourhood which is located over paired rectangular windows. The building has an exterior brick chimney, which is a feature found on all the Victory Houses within the planned Victory Housing neighbourhood. Historical/Associative Value 1 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with the Veteran’s Housing initiative spearheaded by the local municipal government as a result of the Veteran’s Land Act. The subject property was originally part of local entrepreneur John Jury’s large estate, which was purchased by the Town of Bowmanville in 1946 to be the site of Bowmanville’s veteran’s housing subdivision. The subject property is one of 12 uniform lots established along both sides of Veterans Avenue, and one of 18 lots undertaken as part of the Town of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing initiative. Throughout Ontario and Canada, the planned and deliberate construction associated with these kinds of Veteran’s Housing initiatives was the result of legislation like the Veteran’s Land Act. The Veteran’s Land Act sought to provide affordable housing to returning veterans and personnel associated with domestic war industries in Canada. 1 Veterans Avenue was constructed between 1946 and 1947 by the Toronto Construction Company. As intended by the Veteran’s Housing initiative, the first occupant was veteran William John “W.J.” Ross McKnight, who purchased the property in April 1947 for $4,000. McKnight served overseas with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment for f ive years, where he Attachment 1 to Report PDS-003-26 2 attained the rank of Sergeant-Major. McKnight was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his action in July 1943 at Valguarnera, Sicily, in which he charged an Axis outpost and cleared it of enemy combatants. McKnight was also active in Branch 179 of the Royal Canadian Legion, where he served as President during the 1950s. McKnight resided in the subject property for over 25 years until his death in 1973. 1 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with Camp 30, a Prisoner of War Camp for German military officers that was located at the intersection of Concession Street East and Lambs Road. Camp 30 was originally a Boys’ Training School, which was also built on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal government in 1941 for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the cessation of World War II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings and due to a post-war material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used to construct the 18 Victory Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services in the neighbourhood was also supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not required for the Victory Housing project.. Contextual Value 1 Veterans Avenue is important in supporting the character of the planned Victory Housing neighbourhood located along Veterans Avenue, Second Street, and Lambs Lane. As part of the Veteran’s Housing initiative begun by the Town of Bowmanville, simple one-storey Victory Houses were constructed on 18 uniform lots in the planned community. All 18 buildings f ollowed a uniform and rhythmic layout and design achieved through setback, massing, and height, which has created a cohesive and uniform streetscape. Specifically, along Veterans Avenue the asymmetrical façade composition is consistent along the north side of the road and opposite on the south side of the road, ultimately acting as mirror images of each other. The subject property exhibits setback, height, and massing consistent with the character of the area. 1 Veterans Avenue, and the surrounding 17 houses located in the neighbourhood, support one of the best examples of a Victory Housing neighbourhood in the Municipality of Clarington. Description of Heritage Attributes 1 Veterans Avenue has design value as a representative example of purpose-built post- WWII Victory Housing.

Camp 30 was declared excess property after the cessation of World War II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings and due to a post-war material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used to construct the 18 Victory Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services in the neighbourhood was also supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not required for the Victory Housing project.

The subject property is one of 12 uniform lots established along both sides of Veterans Avenue, and one of 18 lots undertaken as part of the Town of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing initiative. Throughout Ontario and Canada, the planned and deliberate construction associated with these kinds of Veteran’s Housing initiatives was the result of legislation like the Veteran’s Land Act. The Veteran’s Land Act sought to provide affordable housing to returning veterans and personnel associated with domestic war industries in Canada. 55 Lambs Lane was constructed between 1946 and 1947 by the Toronto Construction Company. As intended by the Veteran’s Housing initiative, the first occupant of 55 Lambs Lane was Donald W. Allin, who purchased the property in December 1947.
